"Hmm." indeed. I'm a little interested in why you would think that's scummy given how Bees went (reference).

She didn't directly acknowledge what I brought up about Bees! but did indirectly (and vaguely) concede that I tend to "votes [her] within a few rl days of the thread opening." It's a point that doesn't really have any relevance and certainly doesn't reveal anything about why she's scum reading me for my vote. The preceding sentence about Alchemist (also with little relevance to the current discussion) just makes it come off as trying to force a casual tone.

Unless I get some concrete proof he makes these kinds of commets as Town, I think this is the most likely to turn up scum atm.
Did a little stalking on this and he doesn't have any completed games and I'm working from the assumption that he's a newbie. What, specifically, about Joram is bothersome to you?
These posts from TTH have direction, confidence, and helped get the game moving. That's about what you'd expect from an experienced player.
She was on the early Bella wagon, but the specific reasoning was different than what others were saying about Bella at the time, which indicates to me she had legitimate reasons to scumread Bella rather than just joining a bandwagon.
@Max, the 2 slots you think are missing are there, but I put the names of other players who had the slots by mistake.
I wanted to address this in the earlier post but for some reason I didn't quote it, and then forgot.
Anyways, Alch's continued TTH defense is... still weird. It wouldn't be so bad if he'd at least throw a line out like, 'I can understand the TTH suspicion', or, 'I see where you're coming from, but no', or even 'TTH is town, why are people continuing to not believe this?' like.. anything at all. It's starting to read more and more to me that Alch doesn't really care what happens to TTH, and either doesn't want to go back on a townread he expressed a lot of confidence about, or is trying the 'defend the townie so you can say "i told you so" after their flip', thing.
I mean, yeah, there are other explanations, namely Alch genuinely townreads TTH slot and wants other people to do so as well (which is weird, considering TTH is nowhere near a lynch), or that Alch and TTH are both part of the scumteam. (this one's even weirder)
It leads me to believe that Alch is scum and TTH is town, weirdly enough.
This is similar to how I felt about Panther earlier, regarding Sparrow, but the difference is that Alch has been consistently defending, whereas Panther was at first distracted because of his tunneling on Luna (which appears to be normal for him and non-alignment indicative), and has also changed his tune now.
Alch's reads appear pretty static. When I say this I'm thinking of Bella and TTH, but that's because those are the two reads that stand out to me. Feel free to refute me on this last point.
PEDIT: Okay Alch, this is getting silly. You do know how vague 'getting people talking' is, right?
